As do I... in my case I would show the original Super Mario Bros, Mario 2, 3, and World to showcase my childhood(showing my age, I know)... but I totally get the sentiment. Mario is one of those characters that, when you fire up his latest game, you feel like you are reconnecting with an old friend!
Holy shit. Here's me, trying to hold my tears. I just remembered when I got an N64, and all I ever did was play Mario 64, and Banjo Tooie. I saw my old self in the child, and I started thinking how I'm never going to experience what I did back then. This was a fantastic video.
This video was so well edited, and filmed amazingly. It's absolutely adorable. The song is incredible as well. You've really outdone yourself with this one Garret, you should be proud of yourself. Can't wait to see the projects you pump out in the future. It'll be hard to top this one, but I know you will!
*UPDATE: AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY! **bit.ly/2B4ykBJ** AND ITUNES: **apple.co/2zWGw6X** AND AMAZON: **amzn.to/2zLdfze* FINALLY. Here it is! This isn't quite a cover OR original song; it's in-between, so I'm calling it a "half-cover". ;) Hope you guys enjoy! It will be available for download as soon as I can get it up! *Be sure to share this around if you really enjoyed it!* And go buy Mario Odyssey. Seriously, it's incredible. *By the way, I have Discord. Join me if you will:* discord.gg/kVWqP7b
Great song, Garrett! I want to make my own remix of Jump up, super-star! When I saw this in my notification box, I knew this was going to be good. And I was right: I had a huge smile on my face while singing along to the lyrics.
Lyrics for those who want them(Not official, just my interpretation of what I hear) (EDIT: Garrett commented on this and noted some minor mistakes, so those will be fixed. Thanks for that, Garrett!): (Come on and jump up in the air!) (Jump up, don't be scared!) (Alright.) (Verse 1): Do you recall back in the day When I was introduced to you. The joy you brought to me. And I was so small, and I would just play. And you would just come with something new. You made me feel so free. You were the best around. No one could take you down. This friendship was destined to be. Na-now! (Pre chorus): And all I wanted was to join your adventure. And every moment of the ride is just a treasure. And all the battles that we fought, we won together! Now I stand here and I'm ready, to go do it all again! (Chorus): Come on and jump up in the air! Jump up, don't be scared! Jump up and your cares will soar away! And if the dark clouds take the sky, I'll be there to stand by your side! You're still the 1-up guy! (Verse 2): Remember the hills, remember the skys, the way that I brought your world to life. The magic in the atmosphere!(atmosphere!) Remember when you revolutionized the way galaxies are defined. The spark to persevere! (Pre chorus): And all I wanted was to join your adventure. And every moment of the ride is just a treasure. And all the battles that we fought, we won together! Now I stand here and I'm ready, to go do it all again! (Chorus): Come on and jump up in the air! Jump up, don't be scared! Jump up and your cares will soar away!(They'll soar away, now!) And if the dark clouds take the sky, I'll be there to stand by your side! You're still the 1-up guy! (*Instrumental break*) (Here it comes...) (Here we go!) Come on and jump up in the air!(Jump up in the air!) Jump up, don't be scared! Jump up and your cares will soar away! And if the dark clouds take the sky, I'll be there to stand by your side! You're still the 1-up guy! Amazing work on this Garrett! One of my favorite versions of the song!
Hey! This is super close! Well done!! Actually good to know that I finally performed a lyric clear enough for once (usually people can't tell what I'm saying because of my odd pronunciation of things when singing). Couple minor changes: *And YOU would just COME WITH something new *You MADE me feel so free *AND ALL the battles that we fought, we won together *Now I STAND HERE and I'm ready *I'LL BE THERE to stand by your side *THE 1-up guy ;P *"Here it comes" haha! But see those are all very minor mistakes, so actually interpreting the lyrics so accurately is a compliment in and of itself cuz it means I'm getting better at sounding clear haha! Really glad you liked the song!! :) (I should probably just put the lyrics in the description or something)
Hey Garrett! Glad I got close, and thanks for noting my mistakes(There was bound to be some in there). I'll edit the comment so it's correct. Again, awesome job on the song! Keep up the great work!
This gave me chills. I usually don't listen to music like this but PLEASE keep making music like this!!! (Edit: I notice several things in this. You used the "Baw-Baw" from New Super Mario Bros/Odyssey (IDK I don't have a Switch) and also THOSE HIGH NOTES THOUGH)
This video is beautiful. The cinematography, the message, and ESPECIALLY the music were all absolutely incredible, Garrett's gone and done it again, folks!!!
I think this song encapsulates how we all felt with the original Song and the Traditional Festival. Those that played the Donkey Kong arcade game and have had Mario as a mainstay in their gaming for decades, can really relate to this song and the Traditional Festival was a pure celebration of all of that and the impact Nintendo has had for over a quarter century now.
This is how music videos should be. An idea is introduced appropriately, then the lyrics are given a meaningful action in the video, and the music video ends in a nice and appropriate way. Your content is so darn amazing and yet you still don't have the subscribers you deserve. I hope that 2018 will give you the chance to rise and become well-respected.
OK first of all, screw RUclips for removing your videos from my sub box which ended up with me forgetting you existed. Secondly, I just remembered how much I loved your content. You are honestly THE most underrated channel on this website. This video is amazing and you should be super proud of yourself. Keep on going!
You know Garrett, my friend kept on asking me why I subscribed to you.I showed her this video and it touched her heart. You keep on going man, don't let anyone tell you to stop doing what you love.
This is such a fun arrangement of Jump Up, and a great original song, too. I love how effortlessly it all blends together, and the reharms are just so smooth. I haven't played a Mario game since 64, but if I had the money (and for some reason wasn't already convinced to buy Odyssey) this would totally do it
It's a shame not as many people appreciate your songs as they do your videos. Your beat demon album is always a go to when it comes to passing time. Thanks for making music, man.
Garrett you inspire me for real bro; I'm tryna make my own music rn but am also in university so its pretty tough. For real man, you making frickin' sweet crap like this makes me want to make my own equally sweet crap.
I was just rewatching this and first of all, the production quality on this is stellar! And secondly, I noticed that during one if the transitions after the galaxy games has the "bah bah" from new super Mario bros. Nice touch to an already awesome video and arrangment!
Many of us have grown up with the Moustached Plumber. And to remember the joy his games brought to all of us, it makes me want to cry those happy tears. He is, and will always be, our 1-Up Guy. Great job, Garrett.
My god Garrett, i see myself in your video. Like you, and probably many others aswell, i grew up alongside Mario's & Zelda's evergrowing franchises, and your video just brings back all those memories i have of those days with a smile. Thank you Garrett!!
This video is a masterpiece! When I watched it I had to cry because it reminds me of how long Nintendo accompanies me throughout my life. It just showed me how important Nintendo is to me. I love that company since I'm 3 years old and I will never stop loving Nintendo. It's a part of me.
this song of yours is great please make available the playback version of it for the fans to cover (sorry if my english got a little bad is because i'm from Brazil and i'm using google translator to be able to communicate)
HOW DOESN'T THIS HAVE 10 MIL VIEWS Like seriously the song, the video everything about this is amazing and yet doesn't have much views even after a year you deserve WAY more than this 6k likes seriously??
Where is Nintendo of America when you need them. Garret, you have single handedly become my favorite RUclipsr from your RTTTAs and your amazing songs. If there is anyone that deserves to help write songs or help make commercials for Nintendo, it should be you. I don’t think Nintendo themselves could top you. Amazing song. I look forward to seeing you get things straightened out and get back on RUclips. Take your time. Things like this should not be rushed. Love ya man.
This is Dennis. Enjoyed the song, but what really stuck out were the production values, the choices of visuals, the photography and editing, and especially, the pacing. One suggestion; with Mario jumping and flying about, a couple of creative and well placed drone-shots would have been great. However, as a stand-alone music video, this is superb! You're a natural in front of the camera. Keep up the good work, and surprise us with more of your amazing talent.

This should be an ad for odyssey
A quicker montage version, yes - ads don’t tend to be that long.
Bowser Pwnz - What?
Nice! Then I would only see 30 seconds of ads
Wait.. it’s not a ad

Garrett Williamson hi
Wonderful work Garret on such a hit "half cover". It's charming and talented for anyone who grew up with Mario, keep up the great work!
Garrett Williamson thank you for making videos for us your awsome!
Great song, Garrett! I want to make my own remix of Jump up, super-star! When I saw this in my notification box, I knew this was going to be good. And I was right: I had a huge smile on my face while singing along to the lyrics.
Garrett Williamson was the kid your nephew?

Martin Johnson ayyy
Thank you making these lyrics. I want to sing along, but I can’t remember the words. 🤣
@@GarArtStudios to this day, he never put the lyrics in the description
This gave me chills. I usually don't listen to music like this but PLEASE keep making music like this!!!
(Edit: I notice several things in this. You used the "Baw-Baw" from New Super Mario Bros/Odyssey (IDK I don't have a Switch) and also THOSE HIGH NOTES THOUGH)
love this so much! it really reminds me how old games were good haha
OMG HI I WATCH YOUR VIDS
oh shit *u* were here? dammm
This video is beautiful. The cinematography, the message, and ESPECIALLY the music were all absolutely incredible, Garrett's gone and done it again, folks!!!

Garret what the heck I didn't know you lived in Nashville!
or is that Boston
Nope, It's Nashville.
wait i can visit him
me too
Language
Hey, Garett, this is just awesome. The video, music, (I found you on Spotify!) You deserve so much more attention man, keep it up!
Thank you so much!
This is how music videos should be. An idea is introduced appropriately, then the lyrics are given a meaningful action in the video, and the music video ends in a nice and appropriate way. Your content is so darn amazing and yet you still don't have the subscribers you deserve. I hope that 2018 will give you the chance to rise and become well-respected.
Thank you!!
Through the scenery, I found out we live in the same state. Nice.
This was amazing. Well done Garrett!
I have been searching for this song for one year. This is one the truest expressions of my love for Nintendo.
OK first of all, screw RUclips for removing your videos from my sub box which ended up with me forgetting you existed. Secondly, I just remembered how much I loved your content. You are honestly THE most underrated channel on this website. This video is amazing and you should be super proud of yourself. Keep on going!
Thank you so much! :)
You're welcome dude! I hope someday your channel gets more recognition.
I'm literally in tears as I watch this. Thank you, Garrett, for creating a masterpiece that reminds people of how it all started. Thank you.
I was waiting for your cover! Nice work~!
ayyyyyyy
David Toons it’s technically not a cover, but whatever. It’s pretty good.
You know Garrett, my friend kept on asking me why I subscribed to you.I showed her this video and it touched her heart. You keep on going man, don't let anyone tell you to stop doing what you love.
I think I now know who my #1 singer is. Or should I say...my 1UP singer.
Haha! Slick. Thanks :)
Fantastic, so much magic in this. Just beautiful :,)
Felt like this song got underappreciated with the view count, but this is amazing Garrett, keep it up man.
This brought back so many memories, you did a fantastic job on this.
This is such a fun arrangement of Jump Up, and a great original song, too. I love how effortlessly it all blends together, and the reharms are just so smooth. I haven't played a Mario game since 64, but if I had the money (and for some reason wasn't already convinced to buy Odyssey) this would totally do it
So nostalgic and chill
the vibes are sending chills down my back
It's a shame not as many people appreciate your songs as they do your videos. Your beat demon album is always a go to when it comes to passing time. Thanks for making music, man.
It's like this song was made hand-tailored just for me...and my best parts of childhood. Thank you so much for being my number one guy, Mario. TvT
This is legitimately really freaking great. You sir did an amazing job!
Thank you!!
Garrett you inspire me for real bro; I'm tryna make my own music rn but am also in university so its pretty tough. For real man, you making frickin' sweet crap like this makes me want to make my own equally sweet crap.
This fits for 3D all-stars amazingly well
Garret, your love letter to Nintendo makes me tear up, thank you for being talented and doing what you do
I was just rewatching this and first of all, the production quality on this is stellar! And secondly, I noticed that during one if the transitions after the galaxy games has the "bah bah" from new super Mario bros. Nice touch to an already awesome video and arrangment!

Great job, Garrett.
Dang man....the filming of this is stellar. Flawless song as usual, Garrett.
This is honestly beautiful and very nostalgic even though odyssey is my first true 3D mario, keep up the amazing work.
I can feel nostalgic in the music. Just beautiful.
Very emotional and has incredibly huge love for 3D Mario, SM64, and Nintendo overall... 😢
I love that you can see thomas wooden railway in the background
This was beautiful. The singing, the music, and the cinematography! I cant get over this video!!!!
My god Garrett, i see myself in your video. Like you, and probably many others aswell, i grew up alongside Mario's & Zelda's evergrowing franchises, and your video just brings back all those memories i have of those days with a smile. Thank you Garrett!!
Thank YOU!
This video is a masterpiece! When I watched it I had to cry because it reminds me of how long Nintendo accompanies me throughout my life. It just showed me how important Nintendo is to me. I love that company since I'm 3 years old and I will never stop loving Nintendo. It's a part of me.
Fantastic job my man, all that hard work was so worth.
1:37 - Several TTTE books in the background. You had a proper childhood.
+Freakygamer01 With a TWR Gordon on the tracks.
+Variklis Woods I did watch it. I was just stating about Thomas.
Anyone was a fan of Thomas and friends had a good childhood.
This is awesome. This *captures* the spirit of all Nintendo fans, and Nintendo itself. Garrett, you never cease to amaze!
this song of yours is great please make available the playback version of it for the fans to cover (sorry if my english got a little bad is because i'm from Brazil and i'm using google translator to be able to communicate)
HOW DOESN'T THIS HAVE 10 MIL VIEWS
Like seriously the song, the video everything about this is amazing and yet doesn't have much views even after a year you deserve WAY more than this
6k likes seriously??
As always, my ears are blessed once again. Thanks garrett.
Awesome song!!
This was freaking incredible!!!! Like... SERIOUSLY!! Great job! I'm subscribed for sure~
Thank you!!
Garrett Williamson Absolutely welcome!! :D
wow, this...this really hit me hard, thanks for for that MASSIVE wave of nostalgia, Garrett.
I've literally watched this video like a million times and can't stop. Please help.
I'm a slobbering crying mess before work. This was a treat beyond treats. Thank you for this.
Awe! So glad this meant something for you. Thank YOU for the comment. :)
I swear to god, It's literally almost impossible for your content to be lower level than amazing.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Garrett Williamson bring a new track and bringing your childhood back.
This is way better than the original great work, I really can't explain how much I love this song thank you
If he litterly changed 2 words in this whole song, it would just be a rockin' love song
Where is Nintendo of America when you need them. Garret, you have single handedly become my favorite RUclipsr from your RTTTAs and your amazing songs. If there is anyone that deserves to help write songs or help make commercials for Nintendo, it should be you. I don’t think Nintendo themselves could top you. Amazing song.

Ah thanks Trenten!

FANTASTIC remix! How the hell did I not find this sooner!
I DROPPED ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION!!
I honestly love the style of music you put out, it makes me feel all happy inside!
I hate that this still doesn't have millions of views this is awesome
I got goosebumps equivalent to the ones I got when I first saw the original Odyssey trailer
Another phenomenal song. Keep up the great work Garrett.
This song really struck a cord with me. I've never had a song hit it that hard. Thanks man! Great song! :)
This is absolutely great.
I want to play this at my wedding. That's how good this is
i still live by this btw lol
This makes me happy
Bravo I almost cried because it showed what a childhood with games like the one I had and I remeber how fast it went by
I'm not crying... you are
this is actually painful nostalgia change my mind. good song, and keep it up m8.
Garrett you did a... AMAZING JOB and made all ur fans proud! Keep up the work you have an attention hooking voice and u will do great in the future.
This actually made me cry
this is an underrated gem
All of Garrett's stuff is underrated
This video deserves at minimum, 1 billion more views.
Words can't describe how wonderful this is
The reason why I subbed to you, your music is plain awesome.
You did it again Garrett!
Excelent "half-cover"!! (like you said)
Can't wait for the next song!
You barely make vids but when you do, their honestly fire 🔥🔥🔥

This brought a tear to my eye
This is beautifully crafted, man.
